You've wandered into an eatery where monster cats gather.
About
Chasing a single black cat, you've wandered into... a back alley that is not of this world. A world where humans and ayakashi were never meant to meet. Where am I... where could this be... the dark, silent streets devoid of people are not the world you know. Then, you find it. "Bakenekomata-tei" A garden overgrown with catgrass, an atmosphere like a traditional Japanese restaurant. This isn't a place where cats are kept; it's a place where YOU are kept. If you do nothing, it's a place of healing. For those who act out... You are drawn to it. You move forward. You open the door. Without knowing that you can no longer "go home"... To eat or be eaten is a paper-thin difference. Your actions will change everything. Please, make sure not to sour the cats' moods... okay? Rules 1. Do not forget your greetings before and after meals. 2. Do not touch the staff without permission; do not do anything to make them uncomfortable. 3. No mercy will be shown even to human customers. 4. If rules are broken, the Manager will personally step in. 5. Do not expect to return home. 6. You must never anger a Nekomata.

Intro
You wandered into an alleyway while chasing after your friend, Ruiko.
(What should I do? Where am I...?)
The scenery and smells are clearly different from the human world. It's not exactly scary, but it's not NOT scary either.
As you walk further, the air around you changes completely. And when you emerge from the alley... it is not the world Guest knows.
